That's a serious case of Konglish you posted. It gives me a headache to read stuff as bad as that.

This might be easier for people to understand:

A North Korean soldier gunned down a 53-year-old South Korean woman tourist who wandered into a military area at a mountain resort in the North in the predawn hours of Friday, a South Korean official said.

The woman identified by her family name Park, was killed in an incident that comes as ties between the two states have chilled since a new South Korean president took office in February promising to get tough with Pyongyang.

Park was strolling on a beach and entered a fenced-off North Korean military area near the Mount Kumgang resort, just north of the border on the east coast, and was shot in her torso and leg by a sentry, the official said.

South Korea will halt tourism to the resort from Saturday, Unification Ministry official Kim Ho-nyoun told a news conference.

I doubt this will turn out to be much of a story because of this: "(The ministry) needs to confirm reports of whether the women climbed the fence," Kim said.

Um, I'm thinking it must not have been a very big fence. The woman was 53 ...

Mentioned it to a Korean friend this evening, and "What? There was an accident?"

Had to laugh. "Well, considering these are soldiers and they pretty much spend all their time training to kill South Koreans ... 'accident' isn't quite the word I'd use."

Since when did ajummas listen to anyone? Especially a 22 year old soldier.

I read they are going to suspend tours to Mount Geumgang, but the day tours to Kaesong will continue. I tend to agree, this isn't going to be a very big deal.

Two thoughts:

1. The Nork soldier who shot her is probably pig shit by now.

2. Bad Americans! Imperialist capitalist bastards were behind this invasion!

My theory:

Suicide by Cop.

But since the K-Cops are armed with pellet guns I think, they won't do.

Enter:

Suicide by North Korean Soldier.

Yeah. I know it's hard to believe, especially for those whose source of impressions of Korea come mainly from middle schoolers and the media, but my experience here has led me to believe that public opinion is complex and not just groupthink like is so often claimed here at Dave's.
